To this they all con sented, Keator says Hart told him. After considerable prodding by the Sheriff and his assistants, all five yes-! portation for the disposal of its pro terday were more than willing to tell duct will be cheered by a promise re their stories. Owens told the district j cently given by the Southern Pacific attorney that his story of Saturday night had not all been true. Keator also aaid today that he would inves tigate further the admission of Hart's that be was implicated in the murder of Fred Jennings and his wife near Bancroft, Idaho, alleged to have been made Saturday night. Is Assumed Name One ot the bolts from the sky yes terday was Owens' assertion that Jim Owens is not his real name. The dis trict attorney promised not to reveal the name Ow ens gave him, because of his parents, who are said not to know of his plight. Owens said he is of Scotch-Irish-English descent and has no Indian or other dark blood In his veins. He was 23 in March. Prior to his holdup at Cayuse on July 11, Owens was never in serious trouble, he told the attorney. At that time he was with Hart and together they looted two Indian homes of ri fles, pistols, ammunition, saddles, chaps, beadwork, Elk teeth and other native finery that filled two trunks. Then they met Eugene Lyman and drove his car to Rieth after tying Ly man In a barn. Met Hart Here ' Owens says he met Hart on the lawn of the O. W. R. & N. station hero the day of the Cayuse holdups. Together they boarded a freight train intending to go to LaGrande. They were put off near Cayuse when the brakeman asked that they pay $2 each to ride. From there they went to be Indian houses, seeking food. After eating, they took the loot. Both men denied having stolen $2800 alleged to have been missing. They declared that they did not know of the presence of the money and bad they known It, would never have tak en away two trunks full of loot. Had No Help From his interview with the five prisoners, the district attorney says he has become convinced that no one gave help to the fugitives. All that they had to eat and wear was taken from camps which they looted, he be lieves. He branded as false the ru mor that Hart had named a local man who had aided in the escape and that this man was being sought. Each prisoner has told a complete story of the jail break and the plot but certain facts are being held "by the district attorney for use in the prosecution. The attorney has been working on preparation of the case since Jack Rathie was brought to the jail Saturday noon. "I am going to try to send every one of these men to the gallows," Keator said. A young man who served In the same army unit with Rathie told Keator today that Rathie spent most of his term of service in the guard house. His record Includes a few rob beries, Keator says, but he is tough enough to mix In bigger crimes should he face the situation. After having lost his nerve quite completely Saturday, Rathie has again shown signs of stubborness, Keator said today. A few meals and some sleep In the county jail has made him more haughty, although he has not a nerve of Iron. He, like his confed erates. Is willing to talk. "All of them want to place the blame on any of the other but him self," Keator said. railroad to distribute 100 empty cars daily over its lines north of Ashland.

Wallace Reid Plays Stellar Role in "The Roaring Road' ' Most of the automobile race scenes for the Paramount picture, "The Roaring Road," which stars Wallace Reid in the role of a young "speed devil," were photographed on the Santa Monica Race course. For years this famous course has been the scene of many desperate and thrilling speed conflicts between some ot the most noted racing drivers of the day. Including Captain Eddie Rickenbacker, the American Ace of Aces, Teddy Tetzlaff, Barney Oldfield and other well-known pilots, too nu merous to mention. The course is located near Lob Angeles, where many Paramount and Artcraft pic tures are produced. Mr. Reid drove his own car for all the race scenes In the picture, attain ing at times a speed of from a hun dred and one to a hundred and ten miles per hour. Mr. Reid came out at the finish without a scratch, thus provng himsef a master In the art or driving a racing automobile. The picture, which will be shown at the Star theater next Sunday, Is founded on a series of stories by By ron Morgan which appeared In the Saturday Evening Post. James Cruto, who has directed Wallace Reid In several recent Paramounts, has done his best work In producing this story. The supporting cast includes such well-known favorites as Ann Lit tle.
